More than 15,000 runners are expected to take part in this year's half marathon on Sunday, March 19.

Race organisers have stuck with a similar route for 2017, however this year runners will miss Northumberland Avenue and part of Whitley Wood Road, eliminating one of the 'dreaded inclines' early on in the course.

Participants will gather at Green Park for a 10.15am start before making their way through Reading.
